I think i may have fallen for my best mate (who is bi). actually, i think that happened ages ago- if you look at the signs it definately seems that way to me; whenever he's gotten with someone else i'd automatically tell myself i was fine with it. then when i realised i wasnt i just used to think well everyone feels a bit usurped when their best mate gets in a relationship, it doesn't mean anything.

more recently though ive felt a blatant attraction there. and the thing is ive gotten the feeling that its mutual. mainly for reasons that you cant put a finger on. but also just the odd things that makes me think its not just one sided. like whenever we're around our other friends he will turn round to me out of the blue and say 'they think we're going to be an item'. its almost as if its a test to see how i react. and every time its been said i havent known what to say.

then earlier in the week i filled in one of those silly 'say 10 things to 10 people' things on myspace and hinted that i had guessed there was an attraction there. and he reposted it and one of the things in it said something like i like you and i think you know but im not going to say anything because it will make things weird. i mean there were other things that could have applied to me, but its weird that that was in there after what i had just said. and its exactly how i feel- im sure he knows but i dont want to make things weird between us.

this is probably hard to make head or tail of, but any opinions and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

also- how the hell do i go about talking to him about this?

So to sum it up it seems one of those 'awkward, need to break the moment' type things and shown between you both.

This might sound like detective work! But it's for your benefit and his really... what you would need to look at is how he treats his relationships. What happens within them? And do they last long?

That way you know you wouldn't be getting into a relationship together if it wasn't true love because otherwise that might lead to other issues like a broken heart.

If all is well, then at some point you're going to have to sit down together and chat about it. Or over a chat online if you want, as long as long it’s very emotionalised so everyone gets the full picture.

Mind you, what he might be relating to the term ‘weird’ is that he has mixed tendencies to fancy you. He's not saying he doesn’t but he might be scared to get into that relationship with someone so close.

This is the worse thing that can happen to a friend ship.... normally ends up in an awkward situation. having said that this is not always the case.

Be careful, as even though u get the feeling that they like you, it can not always be the case.

I would think to myself what i would gain if i was to enter a relationship with them, and what i could loose at the end of it?

They say love is like friendship on fire, and since friends last alot longer then the average dating couple (specially at your age) maybe friends would be better.

But then again, I'm not totally sure how you, and they feel, so i can't way everything up......
